EFFECTIVE SPEAKING
Many cadets are now gearing up for their LHQ’s Effective Speaking Program/Competition. Winner representatives from the different squadrons will move on to compete in their regional competition where cadets will be awarded with the Bronze Effective Speaking pin that they can proudly display on their uniforms.
The top-ranked speaker from each of the OPC's 14 Regional Effective Speaking areas will be competing at the Ontario Provincial Effective Speaking Competition on April 28.
Together with PDO Jackie Villanueva, Squadron Director George Hough is this year’s Provincial-level Volunteer ES Coordinator responsible for the coordination and oversight of OPC's Effective Speaking Program.
